Too much bulge?

Recommended Posts

This 3s Lipo has developed quite the bulge. Any point at which some of you find your lipos not so safe? Thoughts on this one?  I have used this in my electric HPI Baja. Hate to see it or my home go up in flames.

Any bulge is not good; this is just a precursor to an internal short circuit and thermal runaway.  I discharge/discard any battery that has a puffed cell.  I'd get it out of the house right away.
